Summary

"Vladimir Putin's Russia" offers a comprehensive examination of how a former KGB officer transformed into one of the most influential global leaders, fundamentally reshaping both Russia's internal structure and its international position.

 
The book masterfully analyzes three critical dimensions of Putin's leadership: his methodical consolidation of power through institutional reforms, Russia's increasingly assertive foreign policy, and the country's dramatic economic transformation from post-Soviet disorder to state-controlled capitalism. Through meticulous research drawing from government documents, insider accounts, and economic data, the book traces Putin's systematic approach to centralizing authority since his unexpected rise to power in 2000.

 
It presents a compelling argument that Putin has created a unique model of authoritarian modernization, blending Soviet-style control with market economics and nationalism. This hybrid system challenges traditional Western assumptions about democratic development and international relations, offering readers crucial insights into modern Russia's trajectory.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically through key phases of Putin's leadership, including his initial reforms, the Medvedev years, and the post-2012 period marked by increased international assertiveness. By incorporating diverse perspectives from political analysts, former government officials, and business leaders, the book maintains an objective stance while examining controversial topics such as Russia's regional interventions and cyber operations.

 
This balanced approach helps readers understand the complex dynamics of Russian politics and its significant impact on global geopolitics, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in contemporary international relations.

    Two Fundamental Problems of the...

    In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.’ 
Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally. The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. 
Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures. 
The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself. 
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

    We Jews wrongly believe we're immune to alcoholism and addiction—instead, individuals, families, and communities are suffering because of the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in the Jewish world. 
 
 
 
"Is the 12 step program suitable for Jews? In this book Michael Levin shows with learning, sensitivity and wisdom why the answer is a resounding 'Yes.'" —Rabbi David Wolpe 
 
 
 
"Shikkur is a goy." This Yiddish phrase means "Only Gentiles can be alcoholics," but it's not true. Jews suffer from alcoholism and addiction at the same rate as everyone else in society. Due to the stigma surrounding addiction in our community, people are dying unnecessarily . . . because they believe they can't get help. Jews and Booze attacks the stigmas surrounding addiction and recovery in our world.

    While efforts to achieve equity in education are prominent in school districts across this country, the effective implementation that results in meaningful change remains elusive. Even with access to compelling theories and approaches such as multicultural education, culturally responsive teaching, culturally relevant instruction, culturally sustaining pedagogy, schools still struggle to implement equitable change that reshapes the academic experiences of students marginalized by the prevailing history, culture, and traditions in public education. In Belonging through a Culture of Dignity, Cobb and Krownapple argue that the cause of these struggles are largely based on the failure of educators to consider the foundational elements upon which educational equity is based, belonging and dignity. Once these fundamental human needs are understood, educators can gain clarity of the barriers to meaningful student relationships, especially across dimensions of difference such as race, class, and culture. Cobb and Krownapple challenge that normalization and offer three concepts as keys to successful equity initiatives: inclusion, belonging, and dignity. Through their work, the authors aim to equip educators with the tools necessary to deliver the promise of democracy through schools by breaking the cycle of equity dysfunction once and for all.
